I dont want to be mean but this guy should really, really, really, go home and practise! His technique is so bad. And I dont mean to offend you but, standing in the woods, with short, showing self-defense applications against someone smaller than you with a blue shirt is kind of unprofessional! It looks really bad and hilarious at the same time. Just go home please...sorry

tai chi originated as a self defense form, it was only much later that it was modified to how it is practiced today

Wow, I thought this move was absolutely useless when the guy was demonstrating it alone.. but then it became totally bad-ass when he used it on another person.
Definitely one way of getting yourself out of a collar-hold.
